4. Slide the bit into the chisel. 5. Insert the chisel into the bushing (38) and the bit into the chuck. Make sure the chisel's slot is facing either the right or left to provide for proper chip ejection. 6. Make sure there is at least 3/32"-7/32"o f bit protruding from the end of the chisel, then tighten the chuck. Make sure to tighten at all three spots. 7. Tighten the busing screw, and replace the left and right covers. Mortising: 1. Set the fence (9) so that the chisel will mortise your stock in the desired position. 2. Set the hold down clamp (8) so that it securely holds your stock. 3. Set the depth stop (18) at the position required according to the desired depth of the mortise. 4. Turn machine on. It should reach full speed in a few seconds. 5. Slowly lower handle until mortise is complete. 6. Do not mortise holes deeper than 1" at a time. If you wish to mortise to a depth greater than 1", do so in a couple of passes. This will allow the chips to be properly ejected. Slots: Slots and mortises longer or wider than 1/2" can be accomplished simply by moving the wood after the initial cut is accomplished. When doing so, make sure the slot in the chisel is facing the direction you are moving the wood for proper chip ejection. Other than that, the procedure is identical to regular mortising.
